oakley
A small collection of lightweight, opinionated utilities for printing "fancy" console output in Python: colored strings, pretty messages, simple progress bars, task context managers, and tiny system/status helpers.
This package is designed for developer convenience when running short scripts or CLI-style tasks. It provides a few cooperating classes that make it easy to print colored, indented, and optionally muted output, plus a couple of helpers for memory and time display.
Features
- Colored strings with convenient format specifiers (
cstr) — easy ANSI coloring and simple format shortcuts. Messageclass for categorized, pretty messages (info, warning, error, success).Taskcontext manager to wrap and time operations, with neat completion/abort output.ProgressBariterator wrapper with estimated remaining time and non-intrusive whisper messages.MutableClassbase with global mute/tab behavior so multiple components coordinate console output.- Small status helpers:
MemoryViewandDateTimefor quick runtime info.
Installation
You can downlaod the package with this command:
pip install oakley
Alternatively, you can download the most up-to-date version from my github repository:
pip install git+https://github.com/ProfesseurShadoko/oakley.git
Quick examples
Colored strings
from oakley import cstr
print(cstr('hello world').green().bold())
print(f"Progress: {cstr('ok'):g}") # short color spec
print(f"{cstr('Done'):gb}") # in green and bold
Pretty messages
from oakley import Message
Message("Build succeeded", "#") # green success prefix
Message("Something might be wrong", "?")
Tasks and timing
from oakley import Task
import time
with Task("Compute something heavy"):
time.sleep(1.2)
Progress bar
from oakley import ProgressBar
import time
for i in ProgressBar(range(50), size=50):
time.sleep(0.02)
if i == 25:
ProgressBar.whisper("Halfway there!")
Status helpers
from oakley import MemoryView, DateTime()
MemoryView() # prints a short memory usage line (requires psutil)
DateTime()
Mute and indentation
from oakley import MutableClass, Message
MutableClass.mute() # globally mute printing
MutableClass.unmute()
with Message.mute():
Message.print("This won't be printed")
Message.print("This will be printed again!")
with Message("The following messages will be indented"): # increase indentation for nested prints
Message.print("This will be indented")
MemoryView() # also indented
Message("This won't be indented")
Examples
Take a look at this notebook for the most detailed and up to date examples.
Alternatively, run the command:
python -m oakley.<filename_without_dot_py>
to see examples for each object.
Finally, see this script for an example on how to use the @cli decorator on a function.
Development notes
- The package is intentionally tiny and uses ANSI escape sequences for coloring; compatibility is best on UNIX-like terminals.
MemoryViewdepends onpsutil— the package runs fine even whenpsutilis not available, but theMemoryViewobject cannot be used.- There are simple demo blocks in each module under
if __name__ == '__main__'for manual testing.
